Poem Commentary

losing a child always makes you wonder about things

You Make me Wonder

You Make me Wonder

So many times I sit wonder
what you'd be like if you were here
I imagine getting to hold you, love you
and shower you with all my care

I wonder what's the first words you'd say
and to whom they would be
I wonder if you’d be sassy
and as hard headed as me.

Would your hair be brown and straight
or blonde and curly
Would you be a tom boy
or just a sweet little girly

I imagine what'd it been like to
get to watch you learn and grow
There are so many things I wish,
I'll never get to know.

Would have you liked sports
or maybe art and poetry more your style
I sure would have loved to read the things
you would have wrote, been able to listen awhile

I have to believe that there was
reason for goodness sake
Why else would you not be here
why else would you He decide to take.

I hope that from time to time
your looking down on me
cause I'm surely looking up
wishing you I could see.

As time passes it seems
the hurt will never go away
I keep putting one foot in front
of the other each and every day.

One day my sweet princess we will
meet and I'll know just who you are
Cause your my daughter, my baby
and bright shinning star

So Lord Thank you for taking her
along beside of you
I'm sure there was a reason,
I just wish I knew.

I''m not sure what happened here I tried to comment on my comment and the comments start popping up like pop corn over a flaming fire. I couldn't stop them and I couldn't take them away.

I admire your way of thinking you put so much feeling in what you write and your imagery is flawless. Was your daughter a still birth or were you able to hold her in your arms before God sent her on another mission. It really hurts when apart of you is taken away but at the end of this wonderful keepsake you were so, so right. God works in mysterious ways He has given us a wonderful and amazing gift, faith for the unknown journeys in our lives.

I have eight lovely daughters that God blessed me with and they are all angels here on earth however I can feel what you feel because my first daughter was a twin born 12 minutes before her sister only she wasn't breathing. I have always wondered what she would have been like and that was over 30 years ago.

She lived for about 1 minute and 47 seconds, my fiancee at the time had some major complications and I almost lost her too. I always have dreamed about being a father and all things and wonders that go along with that and it just wasn't meant to be yet. but maybe one day. one can only hope and pray. JD
